Are Your Votes Being Thrown Away?

1 in 4 Owners Were Shortchanged in Our HOA Election

Did you know that 1 in 4 owners in our recent board election lost part of their voting power? Those owners likely thought their votes were evenly distributed among the candidates they selected. However, in our system, voting for fewer candidates than the maximum means some of your votes are thrown away.

Brought to you by Drew McManus, your neighbor in 7908.

During the ongoing analysis of our HOA’s board election ballots, a clear trend emerged:  24% of owners voted for fewer than 20 candidates out of the maximum 25.

This isn’t just a statistic, it’s a red flag signaling a deeper issue with how we choose our community leadership.

Simply put, when this many owners vote for less than 80 percent of available candidates, it means they likely believe their full voting power is being counted, but in reality, it isn’t.

HOW IT WORKS

Understanding Voting Power vs. Property Share

It all comes down to two important concepts:

  1. Property Share: How much of the community you own (like square footage or percentage of total property value).
  2. Voting Power: The number of votes you’re allowed to cast in an election and how they are counted.

The current system, called non-cumulative voting, forces owners to spread their voting power thinly across all open seats, even if they only want to support a few candidates.

Here’s an analogy using roulette to illustrate the current voting method: in the recent election, you were given 25 voting chips, representing your voting power. But here’s the twist: The house (e.g. the Association) has some very strict rules to make sure you don’t win if you don’t play their way:

  • Your Chips: 25 total voting chips
  • The Wheel: Multiple candidate slots
  • The Gotcha: You can place only ONE chip per slot
  • The Restriction: No stacking chips on candidates you feel are most qualified
  • The Penalty: Any unused chips are thrown away

Of the 44% of ballots with trashed votes…

15.2%
of ballots had a catastrophic amount of their voting power trashed (80%-96%).
11.7%
of ballots had a severe amount of their voting power trashed (60%-76%).
7.7%
of ballots had a significant amount of their voting power trashed (40%-52%).
11.1%
of ballots had a moderate amount of their voting power trashed (20%-36%).
54.3%
of ballots had a minor amount of their voting power trashed (4%-16%).

Real-World Examples

Ballot 40, with a 0.24307 Percent Ownership (a high value), voted for one candidate.

In the current system, only four percent of their voting power was counted. The remaining 96 percent was thrown away. 🗑️🤯

Do you think this is what the owner intended?

In the end, an astounding 24% of all ballots cast had their votes discarded!

Why This System Is Harmful

The individuals responsible for revising election rules and championing the current system are Board President Scott Timmerman and House Rules Committee Co-Chair Melinda McMullen.

Their current voting method treats you like you can’t be trusted to make informed choices about our community’s leadership. Here’s what’s really happening with this system:

  • Your Vote Gets Watered Down: You can’t support the candidates you truly believe in. Instead, you’re forced to spread your votes thin, making your best choices meaningless.
  • You’re Forced to Vote for People You Don’t Want: Don’t like a candidate? Too bad. The rules make you vote for them anyway or waste your voting power. In a very real way, your vote becomes a tool for electing people you didn’t choose.
  • Some Voices Matter More Than Others: A small group, or even a single individual, can manipulate the entire election. They can push their preferred candidates and make your individual choice irrelevant (here’s a real-world example).

Supporters of the current system argue that it ensures balance by preventing owners from concentrating all their votes on a single candidate. They claim this leads to fairer outcomes.

However, this argument doesn’t hold up:

  • It forces owners to vote for candidates they don’t fully support, creating less representative results.
  • It doesn’t stop groups from using strategic voting to manipulate outcomes.
  • Owners who simply want to focus on the candidates they trust are penalized, which undermines fairness and breeds apathy.

The only conditions where this type of voting system doesn’t run afoul of these issues are HOAs with a small number of units (under 50), and when the board is comprised of less a small number of individuals (under 10).

The Better Alternative

The data from the recent election shows that many owners believe they are using their full voting power, but the current system is letting them down. Our elections should empower owners, not penalize them for voting strategically or focusing their support.

In the end, this isn’t just about the recent election. This is about who gets to make decisions about your community, your property, and your investment.

Allowing owners to put their full property share into candidates they feel best represent their interests and protect their property values ensures equal representation.

I’ll be reaching out to owners who are part of the 24% group, where their full voting power is not being counted. While ballots are secret, I’m still able to contact owners based on matching ownership percentages.

Every owner deserves to understand how the current voting system works and have the opportunity to share their concerns with Timmerman, McMullen, and the entire board.

BONUS

How Counting Every Vote Would Change The Election

While the actual voting results are in question, the outcome would have been significantly different if the current system, which limits voting power, were replaced with a method that ensures owners’ full property share is counted:

  1. The candidate in 27th place would have ended up in 2nd place.
  2. The vote distribution between candidates would have been substantially closer, better reflecting the true preferences of the owners.
